Mercuryangel Lady Share Zeillen...No no...not Shera..it was...that was it. Lady Zeara Sheillen. Of the Green Ajah.After the Keeper's unsually clear directions-or perhaps were they a warning-the Accepted made sure to keep the name of the woman she had been sent to call on very clear. She had never heard of her, but it didn't matter. After some searching and enquiry, she came across the correct door. It lacked any special embellishment, other than that present on all the doors of the Green Ajah, and rapped firmly three times. The sound was clear. "Excuse me Aes Sedai; I have a message for you." She stepped back, and hands folded in front of her, awaited a reply from within. She hoped the woman would answer soon. She had to run all the way to the Keeper's office once she had the reply, and then return to finish her chores.
Grabbing the handle, Zeara ripped the door open to find herself looking at the frightened eyes of an Accepted. This young whelp was who had disturbed her? The nerve!
"What do you want, you fool girl? Spit it out already instead of standing there, looking the part of a beached fish!"

Her eyes momentarily strayed into the room, behind the Aes Sedai, and caught sight of a few glaring Greens. ((yay alliteration!!))
The girl gulped visibly, and stammered. "I..I..uh.."
She took hold of her thoughts, and calmed herself. She was here on work, and she had to hope that Mercury Sedai would support her. She curtsied deeply, and straightened, careful not to make eye contact with the irate sister in front of her.
"I beg your pardon Lady Zeara Aes Sedai, for disturbing you. I was sent by the Keeper of the Chronicles; she asked that I inform you that your request for an audience has been granted.
She further asked if you would be meeting with her today, or else on another day, so that she may keep the requested time clear of other obligations. I have been ordered to convey your wishes to her."
She hoped that the woman would not find anything to construe as disrespect, but somehow she had a feeing that it was far from likely. The woman seemed too...unfriendly. She kept her eyes on her own feet, lest she do something to set the sister off, while she awaited an answer.

((Lol!))
Lady Zeara stared down at the girl in question, raising a brow as the girl stammered a bit and relayed the Keepers message. Once she was done, she let the girl stew a moment as she flipped her braided hair over a shoulder. She always found it amusing to watch others squirm, though she never knew why. A trait no doubt inherited from her father.
"Well, girl, don`t just stare at your feet! Inform the Keeper that I will meet with her right now! I did not travel all the way from Mayene to wait around this place! Well, what are you waiting for? Go now!"
She didn`t wait to watch her go. Glancing over her shoulder, she waved for her Warders to join her as she left for the Keepers office. Being one of the strongest Green`s in the Tower, she demanded respect. She cared little of the feelings or needs of others, as long as she got what she wanted.

The girl managed to keep down a squeak of nervousness, and half curtsied, half ran away from the irate Green. She was certainly glad that she wasn't the one in the Keeper's shoes, and even more glad that she wasn't the one that had to await a oh-so-delightful visit from Lady Zeara.
Idly, she recalled someone saying the Keeper had originally been from Mayene. She wondered if perhaps the Green was a friend of the Keeper's from home. She doubted it. The woman's personality didn't exactly encourage friendship.
Not sure how far behind her the other sister was, she ran at a rather quick pace, and arrived at the Keeper's office, panting. She stepped in, still huffing, and the Keeper glanced over at her from over an empty tray.
"The Lady Zeara is on her way to meet with you as we speak, Mercury Sedai." She realized after the statement that she had forgotten to curtsy, and hurriedly rectified the error.

Mercury looked over as the Accepted from earlier came hurrying into the room. She looked as if she had rushed to the office. She forgot to curtsy, but Mercury did not bother to correct her.
The girl delivered her message, and then suddenly curtsied at the end. That was good; only a minor lapse in etiquette at least. She hoped nothing of the sort had happened with Lady Zeara Sheillen.
"Very well. Please take this tray to the Kitchens. Or rather...no. Take this tray, and send it with a Novice to the Kitchens. Tell her to send up a tray of tea, and a flask of wine.
And then please go to the Mistress of Novices, and tell her that Lady Zeare is coming for the meeting. Then you may resume your earlier tasks. You may go, and have yourself some water before you return to your chores."
The Accepted nodded, cleared the tray, and left.
She's coming already? Well at least I had a meal thanks to Laras. I suppose that I will find out who she is, and what she wants.
Mercury went and took the Keeper's Stole from where she had left it neatly hanging, and put it on. She adjusted it, and then sat down behind her desk, waiting for her would-be caller.

The girl rushed out of the Keeper's office, not wishing to be there when Zeara Sedai arrived. She was down a flight of stairs when she encountered another Accepted.
She handed off the tray to her, and made it clear that the Keeper had wanted tea and a flask of wine sent up. The other girl nodded, and rushed off.
Barely waiting until the other Accepted was out of sight, she dashed down the stairs again. As she came to the lower floors, the skirt of her seven banded dress flying behind her, more than a few people looked at her askance.
Paying them no heed, she rushed towards the door leading to the office of the Mistress of Novices. There were actually five girls waiting outside, three novices and two Accepted. Apologizing to them, she stepped directly to the door, ignoring the line.
She knocked quickly, a bit too firmly perhaps, and then a few seconds later, rapped on the door again. The girls behind her, who had begun to grumble at her barging into the line, stared at her.

Markis entered the training grounds, and the sounds of mock battles resounded around him. He asked for Haram, but was told the Swordmaster was in Tar Valon for the day. The Bowmaster Hasaan had taken a group of trainees into the forest for advanced training, and also would not return till evening.
He was beginning to think that he would end up having to ask the Stable Master, though he doubted that would be of any use. Suddenly he spotted the Staffmaster Maij. Perhaps he would be helpful. Markis glided over, in the deadly fluid stance that was second nature to him now, and hailed the man.
"Staffmaster! If I might have a moment of your time?"
Maij looked over at him. Maij was a short man, but his entire body seemed to be made of muscle. It was unusual for someone of his physical profile to take up the staff, and equally unusual to attain a mastery over it. It was rumored that he had even studied the art of wielding a'shan'da'rei, but of course none existed for him to apply the knowledge practically. Still, if there was a man who could wield glaives and such in this Age, few had any doubt that Maij would be amongst them.

Mercuryangel Mercuryangel Oryzen nibbled on her bread, waiting for the stew to cool down somewhat before she started on it. Across from her, Romvian idly gulped down his own food.
"Will he be alright 'Zen?"
"He'll be fine Rom. I don't know where Darien went or what caused the attack, but he came back in time. I give him a strong sleeping draught, and he is resting. Once he wakes, he should be alright. Maybe then we can figure out what happened."
"How long do you think we have?"
"Difficult to say. But not indefinitely. Perhaps a few months at the most. I personally don't understand why he doesn't accept whats happening to him."
"You know that it isn't an option for him anymore, even if he wanted that. Because if he changes, then he becomes a victim to the same trap keeping those Aes Sedai under control."
"I know Rom. I know. Do you think they have what we need?"
"If its not in the Tower, and not with us, there are few places left that we can search. In any case, conquering the Tower won't be a liability, no?"
Oryzen shrugged. "You're the military man. If you think its advantageous, then I certainly have no problem in aiding your conquest. Its not as if the majority of those sisters are even a challenge for us three."
Outside in a courtyard, a ra'ken landed and the rider disembarked. She was carrying a message to the trio in charge. She was told to wait while they were informed. In the mean time, she helped herself to some water to refresh herself. ((these three and then Aram are next in line to be posted about...but too brain dead to do so now...just read diseases of the eye for like 4 hours...if I try to write anything now, they'll all end up with conjuctivitis, pink eye, styes, and eye cancer... sweatdrop ))

(( eek Not pink eye! Lol, and cute new look, Merc!))
Lady Zeara glided quickly from the Green`s quarters, not caring if her two Warders were behind her or not. They could sense her, and they were also fast on their feet, no matter how much girth Boron had. He had the strength of an ox, and quicker on his toes than most men. Aiken was like a whisp, always just right outside her peripheral vision, making barely a sound as he walked. She knew they would be behind her eventually.
Pulling her shawl tighter around her, she glided past a couple Yellow's as she went. Neither even came close to her level, so she didn't even bother herself with looking at them. To her, the Power was everything, and if you couldn't reach a certain level, you had no right with even calling yourself an Aes Sedai. The Final Battle with the Dark One was close at hand, and the Tower had no time for those who were weak. They couldn't afford it.
Finally reaching the Keeper's office, she was barely within arms reach of the doors before she was knocking rapidly.

Sighing, Mairyela walked as fast as possible without looking flustered through the halls. She had just come from the Kitchens to inform the staff there of the influx of girls that would be with them for the next little while. She certainly didn't want to have them overwhelmed. It was one part courtesy, and another part preparation. She would have the farm girls running about in such a furious manner, working chores and other tasks, that they would barely believe they had left the farm. It would also take their minds away from the strange things that some may have seen of heard about the current events in the Tower.
Turning around a curve in the hall heading towards her office, she was surprised to find a small line already having formed. A couple of the Novices she recognized from the group of farm trainee's, but the others were from in the Tower. One Accepted stood out from the others, rapping hard on her door as the others sent silent glares her way. She sighed once again. Her work never seemed done, and she couldn't figure out if that was good or bad.
Straightening from the slight bend she seemed to have developed in her back - no doubt from long nights at her desk - she approached the group, who all seem to notice her at the same time. "How can I help you girls?"

((mm, it might be a good time to continue where i left off seeing my aes sedai is getting irratated.. sweatdrop i hope she still loves me that much that she wont blast me with fireball once i enter her door. sweatdrop here goes))
Hawk walks to the corridors of the tower to continue to find Alina's whereabout and at some point of time he had stopped at one place thinking of the old times. Its been almost ages it seems since he was home last. Back then he was just a youth pursuing his dream to become a great warrior worthy to the name of Al'Draco family. In his journeys he found out that he can channel saidin and in time mastered it. But the best thing that happened to him yet is being the warder of Mercury. Though she seems to be cold at times, theres purity and tenderness behind her mask. It would be an honor to introduce her to his family soon, if ever he could convinced his aes sedai thats theres more in this world than just work.
As he thought of work, his seemingly eased mind sensed something on the other end of their bond. He sensed irritation for some reason. He could feel a faint wave of saidar been used. He wondered what she is blasting now? He just dont understand women, maybe Markis know more about them. Hawk senses his brother at arms seems to be pleased for some reason. Finally at a corridor going to the library he catch up to Alina.
She seemed to have been researching something in the library. Hawk informed her of what was happening to the courtyard, that novices are gathering there for some reason. There are already some of the sisters who are handeling the matters but he told her that the Keeper needed her there as well. With the message delivered they both went back to the courtyard only to see that Mercury and Markis is not there anymore. He can still sense a faint irratation on her end of the bond but she seemed to pleased at the same time. Women are really are a mystery to him. Alina had already begun gathering novices to her corner, so he found that his duty there is done. He might as well go face his aes sedai and her irratation,thinking for himself. It might not good to open a gateway directly to her office, knowing she will have a meeting today, so he took the long way up to her office and start walking to the door.

"Mistress, I thought you were in your office...I'm sorry Aes Sedai, but the Keeper asked me to inform you that Lady...uh.." she paused to make sure she had the name correct "Shere Zeillen is-or I suppose was-on her way to the Keeper's office for the meeting she requested. She asked that I inform you urgently." The girls behind her had gone silent, half from confusion, and the other half from grudging acceptance of her barging into the line though they had been there first. "She was likely almost half there by the time I was sent to inform you Mistress; I would guess that perhaps she was reaching the Keeper's office now." she volunteered the extra information, wondering if it was useful.

Just her bad timing! As she had thought a moment ago, her work was never done. And now she had to somehow beat the Lady Zeara to the Keeper`s office without seeming to be barging in or being tardy. Just lovely, the situation, she thought sarcastically.
"Thank you for your diligence in delivery of the Keeper`s message." It was a bit odd to thank an Accepted for something so common, but the girls behind her, if they had still been a bit off put, all wore various shades of embarrassment. It was less a thank you, and more of a counter for any complaints, though she doubted anyone ever would complain at their levels. "It seems I have much to do tonight." Turning to the other girls behind the Accepted, she said, "if your questions are not a matter of extreme urgency, come see me tomorrow. If it is, please pen it down and slide it beneath my door. I`ll see to it when I can." Then, pulling her shawl more snugly and hitching her skirts, Mairyela walked towards the stairs and towards the Keepers office.
Once she was sure she was out of sight of the girls, as well as any sisters, she wove a sturdy weave of Air and Water around herself. The precise weave would make her invisible to anyone who was not gifted with the Power, which is what she needed. The servants hidden stairwells were less crowded at this time, as well as more direct. Sneaking into one such stairwell, she began her climb. She just hoped it was a fast enough route.

After a few minutes of walking to the corridors of the tower, Hawk have reached his destination. He can sense Markis end of the bond somewhere inside the tower but not close to Mercury on the other hand his aes sedai havent change her emotion, she is still irratated somehow. As he approached closer to his destination a loud commotion was ahead of him. A certain noble lady is at the door and the two accepted that guarding Mercury's door are talking loud. They seem arguing about something.
Hawk continue his pacing towards the door, inside the void and strengthen by saidin his face looks like it is carved in stone and can not be read. All of his emotions are sealed inside the void. He walk past the two accepted, they know better than to stop the keepers gaidin, so they let him past without any question. Hawk enter Mercury's office and scanned the area for any suspicious threath before marching towards his somewhat calmer aes sedai. He found her sitting on her chair behind her desk. She is officialy dressed and have her stole on. Hawk glanced at her feature from head to chest and gave her a wolf like grin of appreciation. He stood their for a moment just looking at her as if to meet a challenge. A faint knock on the door set him back to alertness. Hawk walk closer to Mercury and stand at her side.
